The First Lady is met with boos and jeering as she speaks at the B’More Youth Summit for Opioid Awareness.
When she first took the stage, she was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos, but the boos appeared to be much louder and longer-lasting than the cheers.
She closed her speech by wishing the crowd a happy Thanksgiving."Be safe. May God bless you, your families and the United States of America," she said to cheers and even more jeers. In a statement to NBC News, the first lady said, “We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact is we have a serious crisis in our country and I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse.”
The event was organized by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation. The first lady — whose Be Best program has targeted online bullying and the dangers of opioid abuse — was introduced at the event by Jim Wahlberg, brother of actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg.The Wahlberg foundation did not respond to a request for comment.
